its a success in France but a disappointment internationally

On display since April 12, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor of Thieves recently crossed the one million spectator mark in France. A nice commercial success, crowned in addition to a critical success, since the press in the world was surprised by the good quality of the film. Only here, if we look more closely at the international figures, we realize that the good health of Paramount’s production is not so good. With 200 million dollars collected at the worldwide box office (including 90 million only on American soil), Dungeons & Dragons: Honor of Thieves did not outperform, especially in comparison with its budget of 151 million dollars, to which it Obviously you have to add the marketing costs, which are certainly important to make peloche known to the general public and outside the circle of insiders. One could say that the career of the film is far from over, but in the United States, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor of Thieves is already available for purchase or rental on VOD, and therefore accessible in pirate version on the dark web. It is therefore difficult to attract more spectators than expected at this stage.

How to explain this disappointment at the box office? There are obviously several reasons, starting with fierce competition. Between John Wick 4, Super Mario Bros, Guardians of the Galaxy and the upcoming Fast & Furious X, audiences really do have a choice, and a movie like Dungeons & Dragons has less of an aura than the others with the general public. This is all the more regrettable because not only was the quality there, but so was word of mouth. Perhaps it should have been released at a time when competition was less (at the beginning of the year perhaps), but obviously difficult to predict the future. Of course, the film will continue to exist otherwise, via its release on Blu-ray, DVD and of course on streaming platforms such as Paramount+. In any case, let yourself be tempted, it really deserves 2h15 of your time.
